Background

Caleb Wilson starred at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School in Atlanta, Georgia before committing to North Carolina as a five-star recruit. At 6'10" with wing skills, Wilson immediately became a two-way force for the Tar Heels. His freshman campaign was dominant when healthy — 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game on 57.8% shooting. However, his season was marred by hand injuries, including a fractured left hand and broken right thumb that limited him to 24 games. Despite the missed time, he earned Second-Team All-American honors and ACC Freshman of the Year.
